I sit here waiting. Waiting to meet a friend. My friend was due to pop to mine so we could head out and have lunch together. But it's now 1:45 and I'm starving.
We were only having lunch together because we failed to have morning cake together. We had arranged to meet in town late morning, but the plan was flexible due to my friend's work commitments. So I duly headed into town and sat alone for 45 minutes until I heard that my friend was no longer able to make it until lunch time.
We were only having morning cake together because we failed to have a drink together last night. We had arranged to meet in town late afternoon as my friend had an appointment. So I duly headed to town and waited at the agreed spot for 30 minutes until I heard that my friend was no longer able to get there in time to meet before the appointment.
We were only having drinks together because we had failed to meet in the office that afternoon. We had arranged to meet in the office for a catch up, but the plan was flexible as I had a meeting. When my meeting ended, I duly headed to the office to meet my friend, until I heard that my friend would not be able to get to the office before I left.
Having failed to meet in the office, we have failed to meet for drinks in town, failed to meet for cake in town, and we are now apparently failing to meet for lunch. I have made myself available at every opportunity, but still I am drinkless, cakeless and lunchless, and perhaps even friendless.
Maybe that would be no bad thing in this instance.
